Landed a job as the terrain park supervisor at my home hill.  Park crew 28 days over winter break... worked about 8 days a week, skiing all day everyday.  Now i just work friday-sunday and go to school during the week.  I love going to work everyday, can't get much better than that.  And yeah I ski in wisconsin haha, but it's all about having fun.

Same thing as any other park crew member, but I also have a more significant say in the set-up and design of features.  I come in and ride with the groomers to help build jumps and set up rails.  I work in the shop working on repairing rails and building new jibs.  Pretty much whatever has to do with running the terrain park other than actually driving the cat.

Is anybody worried that all this hard work and shit wont even matter when the US falls apart in four er five years?

I'm saving/spending my money on survival shit. Guns, supplies, survival books, gear etc. I'm not a doomsdayer, i just think it's a pretty good life insurance policy. Plus all the cool military shit is fun to have.

If that doesn't happen, I'm just graduating college next year and hoping something falls in my lap.

First season i was still at school,

I left school for 4 months to go ski race in france for the season

2nd and 3rd season I spent in switzerland still ski racing but dropped outta school to get a full time job so i could help pay towards my racing.

Spent the summer in argentina ski racing and freeriding 2006.

Quit racing due to personal reasons half way through the 06/07 season and just worked and skied. but thats 5 seasons + a summer.

Then became a ski instructor in switzerland for a season 07/08

Didnt like it so became a ski technician in switzerland. loved it.08/09

Wanted to see some more of the world so came to Whistler, Canada where i currently am a lifty.
I got to ski all summer, and currently ski most days.

so Im serving my 7th winter season this year.... not bad for someone who turns 20 in april.

Haha exactly.  I pretty much worked all day most days and then into the night and into the next day and maybe got a few hours of sleep.  Sometimes the days would just melt together and I wouldn't know what day was what.  The life of working at a ski resort haha.

I can play beethoven/mozart songs in full on my guitar.

I have many leather-bound books, and my apartment smells of rich mahogany.
